BATM / BATLV automatic LV capacitor banks 5–1600 kvar
Country: Spain · Model: BATM / BATLV
The BATM and BATLV automatic capacitor banks are designed for centralized reactive power compensation in low-voltage networks without significant harmonics, and the range covers from 5 to 1600 kvar at 440 V. The bank is supplied assembled, so it is enough to connect the supply cable and feed the signal from a current transformer with a 5 A secondary, which is not included in the supply.

Description
The wall-mounted BATM units of 5–180 kvar are built on POLB 440 V capacitors in IP31 cabinets with cable entry from below, each step is protected by a circuit breaker, a 230 V auxiliary supply is provided by an autotransformer, and an input breaker is fitted on models up to 40 kvar. The smaller BATM have a 500 × 400 × 260 mm cabinet, and the range starts at 5 kvar (steps 2 × 1.25 + 2.5 kvar) and continues through 8.75 / 12.5 / 17.5 / 20 / 25 / 27.5 / 31.25 kvar. The floor-standing BATLV are built on FML or POLB HD capacitors, the steps are protected by NH00 fuses, and the IP21 enclosure is painted RAL 7035. For example, the BATLV4044250 delivers 250 kvar at 440 V, has steps of 50 + 2 × 100 kvar, that is, 5 electrical steps of 50 kvar under program 1.2.2, and weighs 208 kg. The steps are controlled by the MCE ADV controller with five operating programs, and the rated voltage of the banks is 440 V, 50–60 Hz.
How to choose
First the required power is recalculated for the actual voltage, because the rating is given for 440 V and in a 400 V network the bank delivers less. Up to 180 kvar the wall-mounted BATM is enough, and above that the floor-standing BATLV is chosen by range. The BATLV360 is designed for 150–360 kvar, the BATLV400 for 150–400 kvar in a 650 × 460 × 1900 mm cabinet, the BATLV480 for 390–480 kvar, the BATLV800 for 375–800 kvar, the BATLV1200 for 775–1200 kvar as a combination of LV800 + LV400, and the BATLV1600 for 1300–1600 kvar consists of two LV800 cabinets with two incomers and dimensions of 2360 × 460 × 1900 mm. For an unbalanced load the SVG-L static generator for 30–400 A is more suitable, which compensates inductive and capacitive reactive power and balances the phases.

FAQ
Why does a 250 kvar BATLV bank in a 400 V network deliver only 207 kvar?
Capacitor power is proportional to the square of the voltage, and the rating of the BATLV4044250 is given for 440 V, so in a 400 V network it is lower.
In what conditions can BATLV capacitor banks be installed?
Only indoors at a temperature from −25 to +45 °C. The BATLV enclosure has protection rating IP21, and the wall-mounted BATM IP31.
What options are available at the incomer of the BATLV bank?
A load switch or circuit breaker is installed at the incomer, and earth leakage protection can be added to order.
Which standard do the BATM and BATLV banks comply with?
Both series are made to IEC 61921:2017. LV banks of this range work, among others, at the Campo Dalías desalination plant in Spain.
